nobody obstructs the path of the window, especially if a window is being closed when
the roll-back function is not active.
The roll-back function does not prevent fingers or other body parts from being pressed against the
window frame and being injured.

The roll-back function is also activated if the windows are closed using the vehicle key for
convenience closing.
Troubleshooting
One-touch opening and closing does not work
One-touch opening and closing is deactivated if the 12-volt vehicle battery has been disconnected or
discharged while the windows were not fully closed. The function must then be reset:
Switch on the ignition.
Close all windows and doors.
Pull up the button for the respective window and hold it in this position for several seconds.
Release the button, then pull it up again and hold it in this position. The one-touch function is now
ready for operation again.
The one-touch function can be restored for individual windows or for several windows at the same
time.
Closing windows without roll-back function
Attempt to close the window again within a few seconds by holding the button. The roll-back
function will be deactivated for a small part of the path of the closing window.
If the closing procedure takes longer than several seconds, the roll-back function will be reactivated.
If it is still stiff or obstructed, the window will stop and open again automatically.
Please go to a qualified workshop if the window still cannot be closed.

pending on the equipment level, the background lighting provides indirect light in various areas of
the vehicle interior.
The front footwell may also be illuminated.
The brightness of the background lighting can be adjusted in the Infotainment system in the Vehicle
settings menu Infotainment system controls and displays

The lights go out when the vehicle is locked or after a delay of a few minutes when the vehicle key is
removed from the ignition lock. This prevents the 12-volt vehicle battery from discharging.

Interval wipe for the windscreen or rain/light sensor mode. The interval wipe for the
windscreen depends on the speed of the vehicle. The wipers will wipe more frequently as the vehicle
moves faster.
Slow wipe.
Fast wipe.
x Flick wipe brief wiping. Push down and hold the lever for longer to wipe more quickly.
Pulling the lever activates the wash and wipe system for cleaning the windscreen. Climatronic
will switch to air recirculation mode for approximately 30 seconds to prevent the smell of the
washer fluid from entering the vehicle interior.
Switch for interval settings (vehicles without a rain/light sensor) or adjusting the
sensitivity of the rain/light sensor.
Interval wipe for the rear window. The wiper will wipe the window approximately every
six seconds.
Pushing the lever activates the wash and wipe system for cleaning the rear window.

WARNING
Without an adequate amount of anti-freeze, the washer fluid can freeze on the windscreen and
obscure your view.
In winter temperatures, use the windscreen washer system only when adequate anti-freeze has
been added to the washer fluid.
Never use the windscreen washer system at winter temperatures before the windscreen has been
heated by the ventilation system. The anti-freeze mixture may otherwise freeze on the windscreen
and restrict vision.

WARNING
Worn or dirty wiper blades reduce visibility and increase the risk of accidents and serious injuries.
Always change wiper blades if they are damaged or worn and no longer clean the windows properly
Wiper blades

NOTICE

to the windscreen, the wiper blades and the wiper motor:
The wiper lever is located in the basic position.
Snow and ice have been removed from the wiper blades and door windows.
Wiper blades that have become frozen onto the glass have been carefully loosened. Volkswagen
recommends using a de-icer spray for this.

NOTICE
Do not switch on the wipers when the window is dry. Using the wipers when the window is dry can
damage the glass.

When switched on, the wipers will temporarily be switched to the next setting down when the
vehicle is stationary.

When parking the vehicle in cold weather, it may be helpful to leave the front windscreen wipers in
the service position to make it easier to loosen the wiper blades Wiper blades
Wiper function
Automatic activation of the rear window wiper
The rear window wiper is switched on automatically if the windscreen wipers are switched on and
reverse gear is engaged. Automatic switch-on when reverse gear is selected can be activated and
deactivated in the Infotainment system in the Vehicle settings menu Infotainment system controls
and displays
Heated washer jets
The heating defrosts frozen washer jets. The heating output is automatically regulated depending on
the ambient temperature when the ignition is switched on. Only the jets are heated, not the hoses
that the washer fluid flows through.
Rain/light sensor

The wipers do not wipe.
The indicator lamp lights up yellow.
Switch the ignition off and on.
If the problem persists, go to a qualified workshop.
Changes in the activation behaviour of the rain/light sensor
Possible causes for faults and misinterpretations relating to the sensitive surface of the rain/light
sensor
Damaged wiper blades: a film of water or smears caused by damaged wiper blades can increase the
time the wipers are switched on, can shorten the length of the intervals between wipes or cause the
wipers to run quickly and continuously.
Insects: insects hitting the windscreen can cause the wipers to be activated.
Salt deposits: in winter, salt deposits can cause the wipers to continue to wipe the windscreen when
it is almost dry.
Dirt: dry dust, wax, windscreen coatings (lotus effect), or detergent deposits (from an automatic car
wash) can cause the rain/light sensor to become less sensitive and react too slowly, or prevent it
from reacting at all. Clean the sensitive surface of the rain/light sensor Caring for and cleaning the
vehicle exteriorat regular intervals and inspect the wiper blades for damage.
Crack in the windscreen: a wipe cycle will be triggered if the rain/light sensor is on when the
windscreen is impacted by a stone. The rain/light sensor will then register the impairment of the
sensitive surfaces and adjust accordingly. Depending on the size of the stone impact, the activation
behaviour of the rain/light sensor may be changed.
We recommend that you use an alcohol-based glass cleaner to remove wax and polish.

The wipers will try to wipe away any obstacles that are on the window. The wiper will stop moving if
the obstacle continues to block its path. Remove the obstacle and switch the wiper back on again.
Mirrors
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:
Interior mirror
Exterior mirrors
You can use the exterior mirrors and the interior mirror to observe traffic behind you and adjust
your driving style accordingly.

ant that the driver positions the exterior and interior mirrors correctly
before starting a journey
Looking in the exterior mirrors and the interior mirror does not allow the driver to see the entire
side and rear area around the vehicle. The area that cannot be seen is known as the blind spot.
There may be objects and other road users in the blind spot.

WARNING
Adjusting the exterior and interior mirrors while the vehicle is moving may cause the driver to
become distracted. This could lead to accidents and serious injuries.
Exterior and interior mirrors should be adjusted only when the vehicle is at a standstill.
When parking, changing lane, or performing an overtaking or turning manoeuvre, always pay careful
attention to the area around the vehicle as objects and other road users may be located in the blind
spot.
Always ensure that the mirrors are positioned correctly and that the rear view is not restricted by
ice, snow, condensation or any other objects.

WARNING
If you estimate the distance from traffic behind you incorrectly, you can cause accidents and serious
injuries.
Curved mirrors (convex or aspheric) enlarge the field of vision and can make objects in the mirror
seem smaller and further away than they actually are.
Using curved mirrors to estimate the distance from other vehicles behind you when changing lanes
can provide inaccurate results and can lead to accidents and serious injuries.
Whenever possible, use the interior mirror to check the exact distance between your vehicle and
following traffic or other objects.
Ensure that you have a good view to the rear of the vehicle.

WARNING
Automatic anti-dazzle mirrors contain an electrolyte fluid which could leak if the mirror is broken.
The leaking electrolyte fluid can cause irritation to the skin, eyes and respiratory organs, especially in
people who suffer from asthma or similar illnesses. Immediately ensure that there is a sufficient
supply of fresh air and get out of the vehicle. If this is not possible, open all of the windows and
doors.
If the electrolyte fluid gets into the eyes or onto the skin, immediately wash the area with plenty of
water for at least 15 minutes and consult a doctor.
